What is the difference between polysaccharides and sugars?
Polysaccharides are chains of sugars. Think of sugars as a single link in a bicycle chain and the polysaccahride as the chain.
What monosaccharide is also known as blood sugar?
simple sugars[Gk. monos, single, and sacchar, sugar], consisting of only a single sugar molecule
When single sugars are linked together into long chains the result is an?
polysaccharide.
What do you make when 2 single sugars are joined together?
When two single sugars are joined together, they form a disaccharide. Examples include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).
Do polysaccharides are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon?
No. Polysaccharides are made of sugars.
What are the 3 forms of carbohydrates?
Monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides. Mono- are single sugars, like glucose. Di- are chains of two sugars, like lactose. Poly- chains of many sugars, like starches.
Is lactose a single sugar carb?
No, lactose is not a single sugar; it is a disaccharide composed of two simpler sugars, glucose and galactose. It is commonly found in milk and dairy products. When consumed, lactose is broken down by the enzyme lactase into its constituent sugars for absorption in the body.
Is monosaccharide a sugar?
Yes, monosaccharides are simple sugars that consist of a single sugar unit. They are the most basic form of carbohydrates and serve as the building blocks for more complex sugars and carbohydrates.
When single sugars are linked together into long chains the result is a?
When single sugars are linked together into long chains, the result is a complex carbohydrate known as a polysaccharide. This type of carbohydrate serves as a source of energy and structural support in organisms. Examples of polysaccharides include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
What is a single glucose called?
glucose is a sugar simple sugars like glucose are called monosaccharides mono = one saccharide = sugar
How does The ratio of H to O atoms in starch compare to the ratio in single sugars?
